| 4/2/2007 - Former Courier Makes Plea Deal |
Attorneys for a former courier accused of throwing away mail he was tasked with delivering have reached a plea deal. Frederick S. Reincke, 30, allegedly discarded more than 200 pieces of mail at a carwash in Lancaster County, PA, while he was working as a postal carrier for Platinum Logistics, a contractor for the U.S. Postal Service. The company delivers mail for two of the county`s 370 city and suburban routes. Reincke quit his job at Platinum Logistics in September.
Reincke, who has prior arrests for possession of drug paraphernalia, disorderly conduct and driving under the influence, waived a preliminary hearing and is expected to plead guilty to obstruction of law enforcement and other government agencies, according to the Intelligencer Journal. Reincke was accused of keeping the undelivered mail in the trunk of his car for about four months before dumping it at the carwash. |
